Inadvertent omission on my part. Thanks for the catch. The horror has been restored.tm

Awesome! Thanks, Don.
I'm in! And I don't know squat about about these shows, shockingly enough. I will research them, and try and bring a decent script that peeps won't hate.
I worry that there's going to be lots of premises based on more famous/infamous TZ episodes in pop-culture (eg. William Shatner seeing a troll on the wing of a plane).
Ben, maybe the answer to that is picking a lesser known episode? There's so many to choose from.
Still got to put a different spin on it too. Can't just duplicate the same plot. Make it your own, you could have something really great, even if someone elects the same premise.
Will post something up in a few minutes as an example.
Written by: Matias Caruso (Mr Z) who took inspiration from a Twilight Zone episode called: The Purple Testament to create an entirely new story with Numbers.
Great challenge, the only, umm… other challenge, is reading through all the opening narrations, or episode plots listed online to find one that stokes an idea.
All good. Curiously, the (Twilight Zone) was a staple in my house when it was in syndication back in the early eighties, just before or after Benny Hill (God rest that comedy genius) and Friday Night Videos, but I can only remember a few episodes off the top of my head; for some reason I keep thinking about the Twilight Zone opening narration at the Hollywood Tower of Terror in Disney Orlando… does that count? Lol.

Cool, I wasn’t aware Shatner played the original episode; I only remember the one with John Lithgow, but that was the 1983 Twilight Zone movie, I’ll have to check that (Shatner episode) out for sure.
This excellent short horror film was also inspired by one of the TZ episodes. I have not been able to find a better quality version, but it's not too bad.
